Wedding at Oz Farm

On a summer day at Oz Farm, a large traditional Jewish wedding unfolded amidst the equestrian charm. Despite a heavy downpour followed by intermittent sunshine, the celebration became a testament to resilience and the unpredictable yet beautiful nature of life.

Preparations began at Diamond Mills, orchestrated flawlessly by Nellie Hill Events, transitioning smoothly to Oz Farm. The band, Around Town, set a lively atmosphere, complementing the joyous occasion despite the unexpected weather.

Shale Hill Catering delighted guests with delicious meals while Simplicity in Mind adorned the farm with lovely floral arrangements. Smith Party Rentals added a welcoming touch to the venue.

As rain fell during the ceremony moved inside the barn. It was a reminder of life’s unpredictability, mirrored by nature’s dance of sunshine and rain.

Amidst the horses on the farm, a symbol of strength and grace, the couple exchanged vows. Britt Bridal Hair and Essie Cohen Makeup ensured the bride shone radiantly despite the weather.

Despite the weather challenges, the love shared between the couple illuminated the surroundings, reflecting their unwavering commitment.

Throughout the evening, guests immersed themselves in the joyous celebration, embracing the union of two families.

As the night concluded, guests departed with memories of a resilient and beautiful wedding—a reminder that love endures despite life’s unpredictability.

This Oz Farm Hudson Valley wedding was a testament to love’s resilience, traditions, and the beauty found in accepting life’s imperfections—a celebration that showcased the unpredictability of nature and the unwavering strength of love.
